So you're proposing that the loop while sleep 10 do wine cmd /c echo hi done would keep a laptop drive busy if the user had installed Office?
Exactly.
If someone can confirm that, maybe it's worth looking at doing the optimization, but I'm not sure the optimization would actually help that case.
I don't care about any possible delays, I care about mass storage (which can be e.g. cheap SSD which has a very limited number of rewrite cycles) and efficiency.
